Struggle in the Steam Age

After all the light in the hall disappeared, all the people in this hall woke up from the shock of the gods descending, and then stood up.

"I didn't expect that the gods would pay attention to you." Julius the scepter priest stood up, turned his head and said to Lawrence, with a kind look in his eyes looking at an excellent junior. And the other clergy present looked at Lawrence with more or less envious expressions in their eyes.

"By the way, since you have gained the attention of the gods, you have also obtained the priesthood authority of the Church of Knowledge." The high priest led everyone out of the sacrificial hall with the Julius scepter. "I'll give you the badge representing this authority tomorrow morning."

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency the Priest of the Scepter. It is a great honor for me—" Hearing this, Lawrence immediately stopped in his tracks and bowed to the Priest of the Scepter to express his gratitude.

Gaining the attention of the gods is generally a good thing. After all, although the God of Knowledge is an absolutely neutral god, he is also a powerful god, not to mention that he has a large number of allies.

This also means that as long as Lawrence acts in accordance with the rules in the future, those dignitaries or organizations will have to think twice before thinking about him, and they need to seriously consider the attitude of the Church of Knowledge and even the God of Knowledge. Especially in this industrial era, once abandoned by the Church of Knowledge, it will cause extremely serious consequences.

However, the favor of the God of Knowledge this time was also beyond Lawrence's expectations. Originally, he thought that what the God of Knowledge gave him this time was only the same gift as the Church of Agriculture and the Church of the God of Suffering.

After all, the gift of the gods is different from the favor. The former is equivalent to some rewards given by the gods to see who is more pleasing to the eye or after making contributions to themselves. The latter is the object of attention and even concern of the gods.

If the former was killed, the gods would probably feel a little upset, which was nothing to the gods, so naturally they would not react. And if the latter is killed by someone for no reason, it is a standard public slap in the face of a god. Even though the God of Knowledge is recognized as a good old man in the world of gods, this kind of good old man is the scariest when he is really angry, and his revenge will definitely be remembered deeply by everyone.

Being able to embrace the lap of the God of Knowledge is definitely good news for Lawrence now. As a time traveler, as time goes by, he will definitely bring out more and more things from another world to obtain resources for himself. Because for extraordinary people, the more their strength increases, the more resources they need. As long as he himself wants to keep improving on the extraordinary path, then a sufficient supply of resources is absolutely indispensable.

But even if he knows how to be a man again and is willing to share benefits with others to build a community of interests, there will always be some powerful people who want to swallow these benefits in one gulp through exclusion and suppression. Especially when his strength is not enough,

And in this world, the gods are naturally the most powerful backstage. However, it is not so easy to embrace the thighs of the gods. First of all, in terms of the choice of gods, you cannot choose those evil gods.

This is not simply due to any simple concept of good and evil, but because the camp of the gods itself illustrates their characteristics. These evil gods are basically supporters of self-interest at the expense of others. They are either not very unreliable and may sell their followers at any time, or they pay a huge price but get very little. Not a good choice.

Secondly, the purpose of choosing to hug the thighs should not be too much soy sauce. For example, many long-lived species, especially the dragon race, will choose to ascend to the gods in order to obtain immortality, but they ascend to the gods just to simply obtain the power of immortality and do not want to take too much responsibility.

So when these guys become gods, they will choose some soy sauce priesthood like the god of human card games or the god of dwarf mechanical nuts. It is conceivable that there is no difference between these gods who usually do not have much sense of existence hugging their thighs or not hugging them.

Most importantly, unless you are the son of the gods, it is too difficult to gain the favor of the gods. After all, for the high gods, there are too few things that an ordinary human can make them look up to. Not to mention someone like Lawrence who is unwilling to pay too much for his faith.

After becoming an extraordinary person, Lawrence began to seriously consider this issue. Of course, it is also a way to choose a certain church to do tasks step by step to gain reputation, but that is too slow. For Lawrence, who has a lot of knowledge about the other world, using the knowledge of the other world to gain benefits for himself is a really high input-output ratio method.

At that time, the first thing he considered was the Church of Knowledge, but after careful analysis, he regretfully found that in this era, almost all technologies that help knowledge dissemination and preservation have been invented, similar to printing, libraries, etc. , modern schools, etc. And Lawrence didn't know anything about electronics or the Internet.

Not to mention that in this world, I don't know whether it is the reason for the existence of magic power or simply because the rules at the bottom of the world are different from the previous world. The cheapest metal that can be used as wires is actually silver instead of copper. So let alone computers and the Internet, whether the world can be electrified is a question mark.

So after discovering that the Church of Knowledge was out of the game, Lawrence immediately fell into a difficult choice. After all, although there are not many churches that he can choose from, there are definitely more than one or two.

But later, due to some coincidences, Lawrence encountered some things that he could easily solve with the knowledge of another world but had a great impact. While solving these problems, he won the favor of some gods, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

What he didn't expect was that just when he was about to concentrate on assaulting in another direction, he accidentally found the last research material of Scarlet Sky. What he didn't expect was that the God of Knowledge rewarded him very generously.

Of course, this is undoubtedly a good thing. Not to mention that Lawrence was brought up by the clergy of the Church of Knowledge after all, so he naturally had a good impression of the God of Knowledge and the Church of Knowledge. Simply being an absolutely neutral and powerful god who offends not many enemies but many friends is in line with Lawrence's idea of ​​getting involved in conflicts as little as possible before becoming stronger.

Not to mention that the God of Knowledge is not the kind of god with strict rules and regulations like the Lord of Dawn, and the overall atmosphere of the church can be regarded as a relatively relaxed type. Moreover, His personality is also very generous. As long as it is beneficial to the preservation and dissemination of knowledge and the development of the church, He will generously reward those who are not too evil.

Another point is that the God of Knowledge has a relatively common belief among various intelligent creatures, which means that Lawrence can obtain the greatest possible protection.

Lawrence felt that the reason why he received the gift and attention of the gods this time was that the God of Knowledge had a very important principle to prevent the spread of wrong knowledge, so Lawrence made a great contribution this time. On the other hand, what Lawrence did before was also in a broad sense the creation and dissemination of correct knowledge.

Not to mention that Lawrence's previous things were spread through the Church of Knowledge, which would naturally benefit the Church of Knowledge in many intangible benefits. Under such circumstances, it is not inconceivable that Lawrence, as a natural member of the Church of Knowledge, received the attention of the gods.

Besides, as a person who teaches knowledge. Lawrence can make such a contribution at such a young age, so it is normal for the gods to invest a little bit in his future.

In short, this time Lawrence solved a big problem since time travel. After bidding farewell to the priests, Lawrence relaxed and went to the guest room to rest accompanied by an apprentice priest.
